tv\_grab\_zz\_sdjson --capabilities

tv\_grab\_zz\_sdjson --description

tv\_grab\_zz\_sdjson \[--config-file FILE\]\
                 \[--days N\] \[--offset N\]\
                 \[--output FILE\] \[--quiet\] \[--debug\]

tv\_grab\_zz\_sdjson --configure \[--config-file FILE\]

## DESCRIPTION

This is an XMLTV grabber for the Schedules Direct (http://www.schedulesdirect.org) JSON API.

## CONFIGURATION

Run tv\_grab\_zz\_sdjson with the --configure option to create a config file.

MythTV does not use the default XMLTV config file path. If using MythTV you should also specify the config file such as:

```
    tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file ~/.mythtv/source_name.xmltv
```

Doing the XMLTV config from within the MythTV GUI seems very flaky so you are probably better off configuring from the command line.
